The corporate income tax management in Vietnam in general and Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, in particular, are facing a big challenge, which is finding the means of tax sufficient collection and avoidance of tax evasion. However, tax fraud or tax avoidance has been complicated and the number of these illegal activities tends to increase. From practical requirements, this paper contributes to the gap of previous studies by identifying factors affecting the corporate income tax compliance in private enterprises in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. By survey method and linear regression analysis, the results show that there are seven factors that affect corporate income tax compliance, including the simplicity in tax declaration, tax inspection, the fairness of tax system, tax rate, financial status, the taxpayer's knowledge, and tax administration performance. Of all factors, the tax rate factor has a negative effect and the remaining factors have a positive effect on corporate income tax compliance. Based on these results, the authors propose some solutions to encourage private enterprises to comply with the corporate income tax regulations in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.

Changes in the statutory corporate income tax rate provide firms with an opportunity to reduce their tax burden by shifting their taxable income from higher to lower tax rate years. One negative consequence of shifting taxable income across years is higher variation in book income for financial reporting purposes. Taxable income and book income are closely related in most countries, and, in general, reporting volatile book income across years is not a favorable signal to investors. This study investigates how firms shift taxable income and concurrently mitigate book income fluctuation by managing accrual components separately when the statutory income tax rate changes. Unlike prior studies, we decompose discretionary accruals into two components and examine distinctive patterns of accrual management in Korea, where book-tax conformity is high and aggressive tax avoidance is restricted. We find that firms manage book-tax accruals for taxable income shifting and manage book-only accruals to mitigate book income fluctuation. Furthermore, we find the extent of book-tax and book-only accruals management varies depending on the firms tax and financial reporting costs. The results of this study provide clear and compelling evidence of firms opportunistic accrual management behavior in response to statutory tax rate reduction.

We characterize optimal individual tax evasion and avoidance when taxpayers “narrow bracket” the joint avoidance/evasion decision by exhausting all gainful methods for legal avoidance before choosing whether or not also to evade illegally. We find that (1) evasion is an increasing function of the audit probability when the latter is low enough, yet tax avoidance is always decreasing in the probability of audit; (2) an analogous finding to the so-called Yitzhaki puzzle for evasion also holds for tax avoidance—an increase in the tax rate decreases the level of avoided income and the level of avoided tax; and (3) that, holding constant the expected return to evasion, it is not always the case that the combined loss of reported income due to avoidance and evasion can be stemmed by increasing the fine rate and decreasing the audit probability.

Tax evasion and tax avoidance are among the most addressed topics in economic literature in recent years, as one of the most discussed issues in different countries. The research’s primary purpose is to present Albanian residents’ and taxpayers’ perceptions regarding tax evasion, tax avoidance, and tax compliance. The leading indicators used in this report, the attitude towards tax evasion and tax avoidance, rely on individual taxpayers’ perceptions and not on factual evidence such as the amount of income hidden from the tax authorities. Several studies have been done in different countries regarding the population’s perception regarding factors affecting evasion. In this paper, we investigated the following logical sequence: in the beginning, we provided an overview of the fiscal system and legislation, informal economy, and fiscal evasion in Albania. This analysis data was taken from reports from national and international organizations. After this, we analyzed data obtained from a survey issued to 387 taxpayer individuals in Albania. Our objective was to identify, using empirical analysis, factors that influence an individual’s ethical perception of tax avoidance and evasion. The statistical analyses we carried out in the paper were factor analyses and ordinal logistic linear regression analyses using the JMP statistical software. Based on the empirical research, we concluded that government policies positively correlate with taxpayers’ behavior regarding tax compliance. Among other determinants influencing tax evasion, we have evaluated that higher tax rates are an essential element. The results of the research can be helpful for governments and other policymakers’ institutions.

The highly influential Allingham and Sandmo model of income tax evasion framed the decision whether to comply or to evade taxes as a decision under uncertainty, assuming that taxpayers are driven by utility-maximization. Accordingly, they should choose evasion over compliance if it yields a higher expected profit. We test the main assumptions of this model considering both compliance decisions and the process of information acquisition applying MouselabWEB. In an incentivized experiment, 109 participants made 24 compliance decisions with varying information presented for four within-subject factors (income, tax rate, audit probability, and fine level). Additional explicit expected value information was manipulated between-subjects. The results reveal that participants attended to all relevant information, a prerequisite for expected value like calculations. As predicted by the Allingham and Sandmo model, choices were clearly influenced by deterrence parameters. Against the assumptions, these parameters were not integrated adequately, as evasion did not increase with rising expected rate of return. More transitions between information necessary for calculating expected values did not result in higher model conformity, just as presenting explicit information on expected values. We conclude that deterrence information clearly influences tax compliance decisions in our setting, but observed deviations from the model can be attributed to failure to integrate all relevant parameters.

This paper investigates the dierence eects of progressive rate and single rate implementation on corporate income tax to tax evasion indication. Using firm level data of tax audit results as a measure of tax evasion indication for six years observations. The empirical results from the sample data show that the implementation of single rate on corporate income tax reduces the tax evasion indication. In addition, the results show that the higher the marginal income tax rate, the higher the tax evasion indication. ======================== Paper ini menginvestigasi perbedaan pengaruh penerapan tarif pajak progresif dan tarif pajak tunggal pada Pajak Penghasilan (PPh) Badan terhadap indikasi penggelapan pajak. Paper ini menggunakan data hasil pemeriksaan pajak pada level perusahaan sebagai ukuran indikasi penggelapan pajak selama enam tahun observasi. Hasil studi empiris pada sampel data menunjukkan bahwa penerapan tarif pajak tunggal pada PPh Badan mengurangi tingkat indikasi penggelapan pajak.

The paper discusses the availability tax grouping among EU countries as well as benefits and costs of this tax incentive. Article focuses on Poland, where real usage of this tax management tool is analysed. Grounds for its (low) popularity are investigated. Analysis was made primarily based on observation of values and time trends build on data published by Polish Ministry of Finance, Statistical Yearbooks, PwC reports and Eurostat. Although tax grouping for corporate income tax purposes is offered by half of EU Member States, Poland is the only CEE country that offers this tax allowance. However, Polish corporations rarely use it in practice. Reasons include elevated entry requirements, lack of VAT grouping, low corporate income tax rate, lack of additional withholding tax benefits, no possibility of tax losses utilization, profitability requirements or retroactive duties in case of losing a status of a tax group. Those obstacles seem to outweigh the benefits of higher net return on capital, decreased transfer pricing requirements, higher liquidity and limited tax compliance burden. Those limited gains are prized primarily by biggest Polish entities, which indeed use tax grouping. The novelty and value of this paper lies in analysis of important topic from practical perspective, which was not thoroughly verified before both in Poland but also in other jurisdictions. It may also serve as a hint for managers considering entrance in a tax group and policymakers, while amending tax law regulations.

This study investigated the relationship between political connections and tax avoidance behaviour in Indonesian listed-firms in 2007-2013 year period. Some firms created links to government for obtaining benefits in various variables such import licensing, taxes, and supply-funds. We have manually managed to identify politically connected-firms from the annual reports and measure tax avoidance by using Cash Effective Tax Rate (CETR) as the proxy. Our observation indicated that politically connected-firms paid lower corporate income tax than non-politically connected-firms. Our study also examined how the status of State Owned Enterprise (SOE) correlates to tax avoidance. Firms hiring politically connected independent commissioners (INDCOM) in this study were more likely to show tax avoidance behavior. However, we have no strong evidence to prove our proposition regarding the type of political connections
